Popfanaticultist 

Popfanaticultist (noun) /ˌpɒp.fəˌnætɪˈkʌl.tɪst/

A person diagnosed with popfanaticultionism, actively participating in fanatical behavior toward an author, either through obsessive admiration or relentless criticism. A popfanaticultist who idolizes an author may attack fellow readers who express differing opinions, defend problematic content unconditionally, and pressure publishers to prioritize their favorite writer. Meanwhile, a popfanaticultist who despises an author may initiate smear campaigns, encourage boycotts, or manipulate online ratings to harm the writer’s reputation. Whether acting as an unwavering supporter or a relentless detractor, a popfanaticultist exhibits behavior driven by collective influence rather than independent thought, ultimately shaping an unhealthy literary culture.
1. The popfanaticultist refused to accept any criticism of their favorite author, attacking reviewers who gave the book a low rating.

2. As a popfanaticultist, she spent hours online defending the writer against even the slightest negative comment, believing any criticism was a personal attack.

3. The popfanaticultist organized a mass-reporting campaign to take down a journalist who wrote an article questioning the author’s controversial statements.

4. Even after the author apologized for past mistakes, the popfanaticultist continued spreading misinformation, determined to see their downfall.

5. The publishing house received threats from a group of popfanaticultists demanding that a sequel be written exactly how they wanted, disregarding the writer’s creative vision.

Popfanaticultionism 

Popfanaticultionism /ˌpɒp.fəˌnætɪˈkʌl.ʃəˌnɪzəm/ (noun) is a psychological condition in which an individual develops an extreme, group-influenced obsession—either admiration or hatred—toward an author or writer. This condition arises when people, often as part of an online or real-world community, lose individual reasoning and adopt a collective emotional response toward an author’s work, personal life, or public opinions. Those affected by popfanaticultionism engage in behaviors such as blind idolization, aggressive defense against criticism, mass harassment, or organized attempts to discredit and "cancel" a writer. Their actions are primarily driven by the influence of fan groups, literary circles, or social media communities that reinforce a singular, often exaggerated, perspective.

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
